As the European e-commerce market becomes increasingly competitive, a growing number of European tax authorities are also paying attention to e-commerce tax compliance. After Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Mexico and other countries introduced new tax regulations on cross-border e-commerce, Miss Amb received a notice from the UK Tax Service, which has also introduced a new compliance scheme for sellers.

The cause of the matter is as follows: a transfer agent client found that his tax number had been cancelled, and both the client and the former agent denied submitting the cancellation application, so Amb contacted the UK Tax Bureau and got the following reply:
